Steve Coppell

[Icy Gull]

When Coppell said he wanted to get back into football I doubt he was thinking tier 3 micky mouse tbh, albeit micky mouse with potential.

 

[Husty]

If he came back.... my god i would love that

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Get him back.

 

[The Uninvited Guest]

If RS gets the sack then Coppell would be high on the list of replacements. Leys pray it does not come to this but The Albion go on a 35 game winning run

Coppell will be back in a job by the time we're looking for a new boss (and I hope that's a long time away).

Plymouth will probably have a vacancy soon, Barnsley already have one if he can cope with the northern-ness of their situation, and Colchester are still looking. I'm sure he'd be after a Championship post but he seems like an honest bloke rather than one chasing money or status, so he might be interested.

Could even get the Pompey job if he plays his cards right- they've started the season worse than us clap and I can't see them retaining Paul Hart for long with their new owner in place.

Bloom and co should be talking to other managers now, and if things don't improve in the next few weeks an immediate replacement should be lined up.

This season is increasingly looking like a carbon copy of last season.

Coppell would be of interest to half of the clubs in the Premiership. Very, very unlikely he would consider coming back here.

Right. I don't mean to take this out on you but I'm so f***ing frustrated.


For goodness sake. This season is only starting to look like last because of the bloody fans already calling for the head of a very new manager.

The worst thing Bloom etc could do is talk to other managers because it would completely undermine Slade. The best thing they could do is be spending time with Slade working out, as the transfer window closes, what he wants to do .

 

[SeagullEd]

Also, for a start it's only been very few league games so it would be absolutely ridiculous if Slade is sacked anytime before Christmas in my opinion. UNited often didn't start well... but people weren't dcalling for Fergies head... yes, okay, he's proven, but on the evidence of Slade from last season it looks good.

And haven't we learnt a elsson about former managers...


To be quite frank... this isn't a conversation we should dream of having.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Tranmere might have a vacancy soon...and isn't Coppell from that neck of the woods originally?

 

[GT49er]

Adams would not have had success at Brighton without Zamora. Take Zamora out of the side where did the goals come from. Mullery inherited the basis of a good side.......

As well as Zamora, I also seem to remember we had a decent GK, a pretty resolute defence and a midfield that could get stuck in and pass the ball around a bit. And yes, Mullery inherited a decent squad - and both MA and AM did what all good managers do - moved the team forward, got them playing better and took them to a higher level.
So, therefore, they were both good managers for us the first time around.

i honestly cannot believe we are discussing this after a handful of games, can't we just get behind the mighty hariless one?

 

[NMH]

I am in the never go back camp .....

If you WERE to go back camp, would you take your old handbag?

 

[NMH]

The lady has foolishly attempted to join the conversation with a wild and dangerous opinion of her own. What half baked drivel! See how the men look at her with utter contempt.

With a sexist generalization like that as your sig, it wouldn't surprise me if "the men" (and anyone else with any sense) DID look at you with utter contempt.

How old are you ffs, your posts are allways positive thats not what this board is about. Post something negative or .

Not if he keeps up the Navarro/Crofts love in no.

 

[Black Country Seagull]

I am in the never go back camp so would not want SC back. He maybe a good manager but I am sure that there are others as good who we could get especially with Falmer now in sight. In the mean time give Slade another month to turn it around.

Is there any club Coppell has not done well at? Also please name one manager out there, currently available and as good as Coppell.

Not that he would be likely to drop from Premiership to League 1 management unless Svens mob had plans for him

Someone's not watched Harry Enfield...

Is there any club Coppell has not done well at?

Man City (couldn't hack the pressure)
Brighton (still got relegated and then left because a bigger club came in for him)
Palace (did little in his third spell, or was it the fourth, can never quite keep up with his love for that little club)

 

[Braders]

but if he came back we couldn't sing anti coppel songs.

don't remember that stopping us last time round


anyways - In Slade We Trust

True give you City, with us he did well, we went from no hope to some hope, and Palace I can't remember his later spells, or wish to so I will scrap that from his portfolio.

I still think Slade is on borrowed time, if we don't beat Wycombe on Saturday. Then I can see Slade being sacked, but being replaced by Wise and Poyet. But if it was Stevie Coppell then I'll be very happy.
